Tingling And Strange Sensations
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone else get tingling/vibrating and itching sensations across your body? I have always had this occasionally but recently its happened in my saddle area which has alarmed me.

Weakness
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm having to drink gatorade and eat six small meals during the day to keep my energy up, otherwise i feel weak. Is this part of fibro? I've also been diving in blood pressure and fainted once (woke up on the floor). From time to time, i have to take a larger breath. My family doctor is sending me to a cardiologist, so I guess it could be something with my heart, but I was wondering if some of my symptoms could be from the fibro. I have no clue since I'm new to the whole fibro scene. Does anyone… read more

Humid Vs Arid: Living With Fibro
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I cannot find a definitive answer online to the effects of humidity on fibro. I found 1 that states lower humidity causes more flares overall which actually surprised me
I’m not talking about rain. I know that affects me. Of course having a more humid climate means more rain
It seems maybe the areas with less change are more comfortable for us rather than the actual humidity?
I really want a beach area but have worried about the humidity. Now, I’m thinking the beach may be the way to go.
